Another is near his heart, too deep to remove safely.

February 16, Right or wrong, the White House press corps has behaved like a dog with a bone over the story of Vice President Cheney's hunting accident. If Mr. Cheney or his staff had come out in a timely fashion with an explanation of what took place at the Armstrong ranch near Corpus Christi, Texas, last Saturday, everyone could have moved on, say public relations professionals.
